A scene from Minority Report 2002
John Anderton

You can tell me how someone could fake a pre-vision.

Dr. Iris Henimen

How would I know that?

John Anderton

Because you invented Precrime.

Dr. Iris Henimen

[laughs dryly]

If a series of genetic mistakes and science gone haywire can be called "invention", then yes, I invented Precrime.

John Anderton

You don't sound very proud.

Dr. Iris Henimen

I'm not. I was trying to cure them, not turn them into something else.

John Anderton

Cure who?

Dr. Iris Henimen

The innocents we now use to stop the guilty.

John Anderton

You're talking about... the Precogs.

Dr. Iris Henimen

You think the three in the tank came out of a test tube? They are merely the ones who survived.
